Either way, pretty great stuff.

So I painted over it and grabbed some wooden letters from the craft store instead..I hot glued some ribbon that I had in my stash around the sides to cover the raw edges of the MDF.

At some point I also added the clothes pins on in rows of three with hot glue as well.. Bam!Just like that, a fun new advent calendar was born!.The bags are just plain white bags, stamped with some silver ink and a Christmas stamp, then I wrote the numbers in by hand.

It’s all so easy, but when you put it all together….This would make a great pre-Christmas activity that the whole family could do together, minus the step where the bags are filled with goodies, of course!

It would also be so fun as a craft for a friends’ get-together one evening.

It’s quick, cute, and really inexpensive to make!.And you can’t stop me.

Nor should you, because I speak the truth!.I’ve been waiting to enjoy lilacs from this giant tree for the last 2 years.

Last year we had a weird early hot spell and then a late frost and it pretty much killed the season for flowering trees.I was hopeful, but no flowers came all year..
